Having worn many differently coloured hats, Harsha Bandi has been around the Overwatch scene in various capacities from journalist to reporter, from analyst to head coach with none of the titles really ever defining his job responsibilities fully, pouring himself into roles as the moment requires and his personality sees fit.
